52 Weeks

Week 13/52

April 5, 2009

This is two week’s in a row with “hat” pictures, but I do so love that chapeau. I snapped this picture before Carrie and I headed over to a “Coming To America” surprise party to celebrate Carrie’s friend Jayme’s boyfriend just moved to the States from the UK. The coat was part of my awesome [...]

Week 12/52

March 29, 2009

I’m a couple of weeks behind, but I’m just going to pretend that didn’t happen. So here is Week 12! This picture was taken as I was getting ready for the 12th Annual Swingers Ball. I shot it with my Canon 40D and my old pal, the Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 lens. Used a Posterizing filter in [...]

Week 11/52

March 14, 2009

I know I just had a self-portrait post the other day, but that was “catch-up”. Now I’m back on track. I took this picture in my backyard today. It’s great to be able to get outside again (55 degrees today). I had a bit of an audience for this shot; since the weather is nice, [...]

Week 8/52

February 25, 2009

I’m posting this late, but I did take the picture last week, so it totally counts! This photo was taken on the beach in Ft. Lauderdale. Surprise, surprise, I used the Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 for this shot. I brought it into Photoshop and created two duplicate layers (for a total of three). I desaturated the middle layer, and [...]

Week 7/52

February 15, 2009

Technically, this is a day late. But due to Valentine’s Day, I didn’t get around to doing my self-portrait last week. So I did it today. But I’ll still do a Week 8 portrait this week. I swear! Today, I decided to get outside and take a picture that captures the chill, drab day that [...]

Week 6/52

February 7, 2009

And here is this week’s self-portrait for my 52 Weeks project, in which I take a new self-portrait every week for a year. This week I decided to go with a Chicago Cubs theme, as it’s almost time for pitchers and catchers to report for Spring Training. My initial plan (which you can see in [...]
